This undated photo by A.W. Ericson, provided by the Humboldt State University Library, shows school children posing on the Fieldbrook Stump, a huge coast redwood outside McKinleyville, Calif., sometime in the 1890s. The Archangel Ancient Tree Archive has produced a clone from a spout at the base of the stump that will be planted on a ranch near Port Orford, Ore. The project is part of an effort to preserve the genetics of some of the world's biggest trees and plant them around the world to combat global warming. (AP Photo/A.W.
